HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DS#5 TODAY!
May the dear Lord bless you today and always!
May the sun shine, all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!
Irish Blessing
Happy Birthday!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
Irish Blessing
This is the first of our August birthdays and although I won't be celebrating with this son today, I'll be baking a cake for him when we have our August 3rd Sunday dinner this month. DS#5 has long curly hair in most of the pictures today, but has since donated those locks to the Locks of Love people. If you saw him now he'd be looking much different and just maybe a year older too!
I do love Irish Blessings and use them often when I send someone birthday wishes. They say so much about what good things we wish for a birthday!
Truly, blessings are a good thing to wish for anyone on any day.
So, with that said, here is a blessing for you all today
May the blessings of each day be the blessings you need most,
May the most you wish for be the least you get,
May the Lord keep you in His Hand and never close His fist too tight
I hope you all have a fantastic Friday!
P.S.
As a side note: I've been fortunate enough to be making some day trips around and about Ohio this summer and started a travel log in my blog - What's New at My House. The link for its at the bottom of this post if you want to check it out.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
Irish Blessing
I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts. I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day.
839. for DS#5
840. for blessings great and small
841. for birthdays!
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
Irish Blessing
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought
